Safety and warnings

Important safety precautions

For your safety, follow basic precautions when using your dishwasher, including the following:

Please read all instructions before operating your dishwasher.

The information in this user guide must be followed to minimise the risk of fire or explosion, or to

prevent property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

Operational

Use the dishwasher only for its intended function as described in this user guide.

Dishwasher detergents are alkaline. They can be dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with skin

and eyes, and keep children and infirm persons away from the dishwasher when the door is open.

Use only detergents or rinse aid recommended for use in a domestic dishwasher and keep them

out of reach of children. Check that the detergent dispenser is empty after the completion of each

wash programme.

When loading items to be washed, place sharp items where they are not likely to damage the

dishwasher and load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut type injuries.

Do not tamper with the controls of your dishwasher.

Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of your dishwasher. Do not place any

heavy objects on the door when it is open. The dishwasher could tip forward.

To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.

Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water heater system that has

not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has

not been used for such a period, then before using the dishwasher, turn on all hot water taps and

let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas.

As hydrogen gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or

discarding it.

Open the door very carefully if the dishwasher is in operation. There is a risk of being sprayed

with hot water. Do not open the door fully until the spray arm has stopped rotating.

The door should not be left in the open position as this could present a tripping hazard.

When disconnecting the dishwasher pull by the plug rather than the cord or junction of cord to

avoid damage.

This dishwasher is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons unless they have been

adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the dishwasher safely.

Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the dishwasher.

The water inside the dishwasher is not suitable for drinking.

This dishwasher is designed for washing normal household utensils. Items that are contaminated

by petrol, paint, steel or iron debris, or corrosive, acidic or alkaline chemicals are not to be

washed in this dishwasher.

If the dishwasher is not being used for long periods of time, turn the electricity and water supply

to the dishwasher off.

Safety and warnings

Installation

This dishwasher must be installed and positioned in accordance with the ‘Installation

instructions’ before it is used.

Installation and service should be performed by a qualified technician.

If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or Authorised

Service Centre or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Ensure the dishwasher is placed between cabinetry. Failure to do so may result in an unstable

product, which may cause damage or injury.

Do not operate this dishwasher if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled or has

missing or broken parts, including a damaged power supply cord or plug.

Do not store or use petrol or other flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of the

dishwasher.

Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.

Make sure that the power supply cord is positioned where it will not be stepped on, tripped over,

or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

Do not install or store the dishwasher where it will be exposed to temperatures below freezing or

exposed to the weather.

Do not use an extension cord or portable electrical outlet device (eg multi-socket outlet box) to

connect the dishwasher to the power supply.

Maintenance

Do not repair or replace any part of the dishwasher or attempt any servicing unless specifically

recommended in this user guide. We recommend that you call a Fisher & Paykel Authorised

Service Agent.

Keep the floor around your dishwasher clean and dry to reduce the possibility of slipping.

Keep the area around and underneath your dishwasher free from the accumulation of

combustible materials, such as lint, paper, rags and chemicals.

When cleaning the underside of the filter, take care on the sharp outer edge to avoid the risk of

cut type injuries.

If the dishwasher is not operating properly or maintenance must be performed, disconnect the

dishwasher from the power supply.

Installation instructions

Before you start

These instructions are intended as a guide only. It is the responsibility of the plumber and

electrician to ensure that each installation complies with the Government and local government

by-laws.

Check packaging and dishwasher immediately for signs of transport damage. If the appliance

is damaged, do not put into use but contact your Fisher & Paykel Authorised Service Centre or

dealer.

The dishwasher must not be connected to the electrical supply while installation is being carried

out. Ensure all domestic wiring is properly earthed.

Never lift from the door handle.

Do not lift from the decorative panel on the front of the dishwasher. Always be careful with the

hoses and the power cord at the back of the dishwasher. Careful handling will prevent damage

and malfunction from squashing, kinking or cuts.

The dishwasher should not be connected to a hot water system where the temperature exceeds

60ºC, or where there is no temperature control, (eg wetback system) unless the system is fitted

with a suitable tempering valve.

The dishwasher must not be connected to an under-sink high-pressure “push through” type hot

water system, as damage to the system will result.

Ensure the bare wood surrounding the dishwasher is sealed with an oil-based paint or moisture-

proof polyurethane to prevent possible steam damage.

While installing a dishwasher, check the drain hose is not restricted or kinked.

Levelling

Before sliding the dishwasher into position, adjust the feet to ensure that the dishwasher is

level at the required height. Check that the door opens and closes freely without resistance to

adjacent cabinetry. If necessary, adjust the levelling feet slightly. The dishwasher should not be

inclined more than 2º. If the dishwasher is level, it will help to ensure optimum performance.

Installation instructions

Plumbing

Drainage

The recommended method of installation is shown in the diagrams below. These methods are

designed to eliminate problems that occur with combined sink – dishwasher waste systems.

The standpipe must have a minimum diameter of 38 mm and stand 750 mm above the floor. A

drain hose support is provided to hold the drain hose in place in the standpipe (see diagrams 1

and 2). It is not recommended that the drain hose or drain pipe be connected directly to a waste

disposal unit (see diagram 2).

When connecting the drain hose to a sink trap with a drain hose spigot, it is important that the

drain hose is supported to the height of the bench (see diagram 3). Ensure the drain spigot has

a minimum hole size of 15 mm and that it has been drilled out.

Installation instructions

Water inlet connections

The dishwasher has a single valve water connection. We recommend a cold water connection to

give the best wash performance and energy efficiency.

Important!

The appliance should be connected to the water main using a new hose set. Old hose sets should not be

used. If the water inlet hose is not long enough to make a proper connection, it must be

replaced. This hose can be purchased from a Fisher & Paykel dealer or authorised service centre.

Water supply

The dishwasher inlet hose must be connected to an accessible water tap. The water supply to

the dishwasher should be through a 3/4” bsp connector, making sure it is tightly fastened. The

hose coupling must be tightened a further half turn after seal contact.

If the water pipes have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make

sure that the water is clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there is a risk

the water inlet will get blocked and damage the appliance.

Anti-flood protection

This mechanism will stop the water flowing in the event of a damaged hose or a leak within the

machine.

Positioning your dishwasher

Position the appliance in the desired location. The water inlet and drain hoses can be positioned

to the right or left to assist proper installation.

Underbench or built-in appliances should be installed under a continuous surface, which is

attached to adjacent cupboards, in order to ensure that the appliance is stable.

The dishwasher may be installed with the top panel removed.

Electrical Connection

Ensure the voltage and frequency values for the current in your home correspond to those

on the rating plate (located on the stainless steel inner door of your dishwasher), and that the

electrical system is correct for the maximum voltage on the rating plate. Insert the plug into an

electrical socket which is earthed properly (the earthing of the appliance is a safety requirement

mandated by law).

7

Installation instructions

If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug,

replace the whole cable rather than using adaptors, as adaptors could cause overheating and

burns.

Important!

The dishwasher plug must be accessible even when the appliance is installed as a built-in unit so that

maintenance can be done safely.

If a fault occurs

If the dishwasher malfunctions, turn off the water supply to the appliance and disconnect the

plug from the wall socket. Refer to the ‘Fault codes’ and ‘Troubleshooting’ sections. If you cannot

solve the problem, contact a Fisher & Paykel Authorised Service Centre.

Caring for your dinnerware

The combination of high temperatures and dishwasher detergent may cause damage to some

items if they are washed in your dishwasher. Remember, if in doubt about any items to be

washed in the dishwasher, follow the instructions from the manufacturer of the items, or wash

them by hand.

Cutlery and silverware

All cutlery and silverware should be rinsed immediately after use to prevent tarnishing caused

by some foods. The Rinse wash programme is useful for this. Silver items should not come into

contact with stainless steel, for example other cutlery. Mixing these items can cause staining.

Remove silver cutlery from the dishwasher and hand dry it immediately after the programme has

finished.

Aluminium

Aluminium can be dulled by dishwasher detergent. The degree of change depends on the

quality of the product.

Other metals

Iron and cast iron items can rust and stain other items. Copper, pewter and brass tend to stain.

Woodware

Wooden items are generally sensitive to heat and water. Regular use in the dishwasher may

cause deterioration over time. If in doubt, wash by hand.

Glassware

Most everyday glassware is dishwasher safe. Crystal, very fine and antique glassware may etch

(become opaque). You may prefer to wash these items by hand.

Plastic

Some plastic may change shape or colour with hot water. Check the manufacturer’s instructions

about washing plastic items. Washable plastic items should be weighed down so they do not flip

over and fill with water, or fall through the basket during the wash.

Decorated items

Most modern china patterns are dishwasher safe. Antique items, those with a pattern painted

over the glaze or gold rims, or hand painted china may be more sensitive to machine washing. If

in doubt, wash these items by hand.

Glued items

Certain adhesives are softened or dissolved by machine washing. If in doubt, wash glued items

by hand.

Never put highly absorbent materials, such as sponges and towels in your dishwasher.

Do not put dishes or cutlery that have been soiled by tobacco ash, wax, lubricating grease or

paint in your dishwasher.
